Allans Armory listed Yugo SKS "Yugoslavian SKS Civil War Artifact"

[kazan182]

Asking $450 for the rifle.

"This rifle (and whoever was holding it) appears to have been hit by an anti-personal grenade or mine. It is in the last stages of being re-arsenaled. Schrapnel (steel BBs) has put round dents in the thick metal receiver, receiver cover, and bolt carrier. There are holes in the thinner magazine metal along with a steel BB still embedded." <----per the website.

There are a few photos of the rifle both in and out of the stock. This one image shows some of the damage.

That would be a very morbid addition to my collection. Perhaps too morbid.

no more morbid than a persian mauser with blood all over it.

Pfft. That's just infidel blood.

I have an SKS that was apparently being held by someone when they were hit by a giant cosmoline bomb.

I'm surprised we don't see more stuff like this. I remember a while back someone posted a picture of an Arisaka with a .30 cal bullet lodged in it.

Ha! You got one of those too? Those poor bastards, I think that might be one of the worst ways to go.

I have an SKS (vietnam bringback) that has a bullet hole in the stock and what looks like some shrapnel damage of some sort. Somebody felt the need to put wood putty in the holes though but the bullet hole is very profound and identifiable

C'mon Dan, pix or it didn't happen.

Heres the only two pictures I have of the damage, I'll try and take some better ones tomorrow if I'm not spending the entire day drooling over the CZ 82 thats supposed to be delivered.

As you can see, theres a hole about a little larger than a quarter on the left side of the buttstock. You can clearly see a small caliber bullet hole going in through the comb and exiting through. The pictures aren't too good however. There are more spots of damage on the left side that have been wood puttied also that I didn't picture. None on the right side however. Chinese made sks, 1967 manufacture with no import markings.

My first SKS was used in the Croation Civil War. It is beat to crap. Wood is banged up, sight hood is half crushed, heavy wear marks everywhere. But despite what looks like extensive use the gun was obviously impeccably maintained. The bore is bright, and the mechanicals are in outstanding shape. The owner obviously took good care of it, as any soldier would of his rifle. I really wish the gun could talk.

'Tis but a flesh wound.

 

[Docster]

So, if I take my old '56 Chinese SKS and pepper it with BB shot, maybe a .30 cal boolit here or there...it'll go from a shooter to a highly-prized collectible?

^Maybe, but requires a paper cut or two for the blood stains

Try infidel blood. I hear that works.
